Egypt and Russia strengthen ties

Russia is expected to offer assistance for Egypt's proposed nuclear programme as the two countries' presidents affirm their warm relations in Moscow.

Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Vladimir Putin may also discuss trade and arms deals, Iraq, Iran's nuclear project and Israeli-Palestinian tensions.

Mr Mubarak recently urged Mr Putin to seek a third term in office, despite the constitutional limit of only two.

Mr Mubarak himself has served back-to-back terms since 1981.
